Finding a parking spot in downtown
Roanoke is never easy.

It will get even worse because the
site where the museum is being built is
currently a parking lot.

Therefore, approximately a hundred
parking spaces will be lost. Add to
that the several hundred people
expected to visit the museum each day
you can see parking will be an issue.
